a conversation about ethnographic methods

Welcome!

We would welcome new participants in an online community that has formed to talk about anthropology and design. Members are interested in the role of applied anthropology in the corporate, public sector, and medical contexts. Not all participants are anthropologists, but all share the common interest of applying ethnographic techniques and social sciences theory to industrial, software, and other types of product and organizational design.

Since the group’s inception in 2002, Anthrodesign members have the opportunity to get to know each other via the listserv, social media, and face-to-face gatherings. If you have questions, you may contact list founder and moderator Natalie Hanson at ndhanthro at yahoo dot com. If you would like to participate, instructions are on the Join Us page.

I am an anthropologist who studies work practices and work environments. I have a special interest in how institutions respond to macro-economic, industry, and regional trends, and how the resulting organizational changes affect the lives of employees.
